I fell in love with this studio! Not only are the instructors super welcoming, but so are the yogis…read morethat attend the studio! Each instructor has their own style, so even if you go 5 days a week, you'll get something different, and maybe even new! The instructors are up for helping you with whatever you may be working on in your practice, as well. They are very helpful and will make sure your doing the poses correctly or to their fullest! The studio itself is very clean and open. It's kept at about 80 degrees, so it does get warm, but it's not sweltering hot. You'll get a nice sweat going! I'm also a huge fan of the props available for use - bolsters, blocks, straps, etc. If you'd like, you can store your mat in their back room on their yoga mat rack! Although the parking lot is small, it is stacked parking, so there's usually plenty of room. If not, the church across the street has additional free parking! I highly recommend Yoga Love if you're in South Hills and need a good yoga spot! I was still fairly new to yoga and didn't feel overwhelmed or inexperienced at this studio - it's a comfortable atmosphere. They have a second location over in East Liberty which your pass works for, as well! ~namaste~

Great class with Lindsay. Nice clean props and the studio was clean and had great feng shui.

I have never been to the east lib location, but the SHV one is great! I also hear there's a groupon for some classes. I grew up in Pittsburgh and now live out of town. If I was still a permanent resident here, this would be my studio.

I wanted to try hot yoga for the first time and decided to look on the MindBody app for a class,…read morewhich is where I discovered Embody Hot Yoga! It's located right off of the Bridgeville exit and there are a couple of convenient parking options nearby. The studio is adorable and clean, with quite a spacious yoga room. This class was lead by Torre and I feel she did a really nice job providing a very grounding session. She has great bubbly energy and it really charges you within her teaching. Throughout the whole thing, I feel it was a perfect mix of relaxation and challenge. I would definitely take another class here sometime! The room was set to 90 degrees, but I was impressed how comfortable it felt! The frigid temperatures outside probably had some part in that though. I don't use a yoga mat at home, so I didn't bring one with me, but they kindly allowed me to use one of theirs.

I've always worked out but dreaded going to the gym... until I started taking classes at SWEAT. I…read morecan now say that I look forward to working out and actually get bummed if I miss class or can't make it there. Everything at SWEAT is done to the beat of the music, so it's fun and doesn't even feel like you're working out (but you definitely leave class completely drenched in sweat... hence the name haha). The studio offers barre, yoga, and spinning classes. They are all challenging but the instructors provide modifications you can take when need be. The instructors are all phenomenal, too. They are so motivational and inspirational and help to keep you going even when you think you can't go anymore. I always come out of class not just feeling good physically but mentally as well. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive, and you never have the feeling of being judged or looked down upon. Everyone is there to be the best version of themselves and to have a good time while working out together.

Defined Pilates is a boutique Pilates studio in Bethel Park. I tried the Defined Mat class, and it…read morewas a perfect blend of energy, strength, and mindfulness. The workout emphasizes core strength, smooth transitions with muscular engagement using a mix of weights and resistance bands. The class is low-impact on the joints but high in effectiveness--expect a serious burn in all the right places! It hurt so good!!! The amazing, skilled, motivating instructor kept saying to think about mind-body connection and I felt that. I really enjoyed this class and my experience. They offer other types of class styles and have the typical reformer Pilates as well- check them out!

Cameron Wellness Center is a top notch facility. As a member, I love that there is not only an…read moreawesome weight/cardio area for exercising, but the indoor track, basketball court, and lap pool are what make this place really stand out from other fitness centers. The pool area also has a communal hot tub, and sauna. The ladies locker room has a steam room, with showers. As someone who enjoys group exercise classes it is great to have an option to sign up for free classes as well (cycling, yoga, etc.) Spa Harmony is fantastic, and my 80 minute facial was the best that I had ever had. To top it off, CWC is taking so many extra steps during COVID. The fitness center is spotless, and the employees are constantly cleaning and have their masks on. I have been a member on and off at this fitness center for around 6 years or so and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The prices are higher than surrounding fitness centers, but you get so much more for your money by joining here.

Women are treated like second class citizens! The women's locker room hasn't had working showers in…read moreover 5 months now! The women have been forced to share the locker room with children and men. UPMC has made little to no progress toward the repairs to the showers and steam room located in the women's locker room. When we ask for updates we are gaslight and treated as if we are the problem. If UPMC can get away with gaslighting women at a wellness center, imagine how their healthcare providers gaslight and treat women. UPMC's handling of this situation is completely unacceptable!

I have never liked 'working out'. I hate 'gyms' and am not a self motivator when it comes to…read moreworking out. I need to participate in an actual activity like tennis, hiking, running, etc. When I lived in NYC I decided to get serious about my fitness routine and started working with a trainer (Radu Fitness). THAT changed my outlook on 'working out'. I loved my trainer and she kicked by 'behind' 4 days a week. Once we moved to Pittsburgh, I was extremely disappointed with the work out scene ... the gyms (joined The Rivers Club, LA Fitness, JCC, etc.) didn't work for me and the trainer selection was very poor. A mere 4 months ago I stumbled upon The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. While I continued to be fit through running and outdoor activities, my herniated disc was limiting my enjoyment and frequency. My Neurosurgeon said that I had to develop my core while not straining my back. He suggested that I try Pilates. Not knowing anything about Pilates, I made an appointment with at the Center and met Lesley. I have to admit that at first, it was a little intimidating and a bit complicated and I felt a bit awkward in the movements. Sometimes I thought that I was never going to 'get it'. During those first few weeks I never ONCE felt embarrassed or uncomfortable. With kind and generous trainers I became hooked! I have never had a weight problem .... but as I reached my 40's I was definitely becoming 'soft' all over. Four months later I feel strong and according to my friends, co-workers and husband, look better than ever!!! In addition to all of that good stuff my back feels so much better and my running has greatly improved. Pre-Pilates I would run 3 miles and walk like an old lady for the remainder of the afternoon or be stiff and sore the next morning. Three months into Pilates I decided to take a short run. Low and behold, my Nike Fuel band was telling me that I ran a 5K. I felt awesome ... so awesome that I ran an additional 5K!! If you are looking to zone out on the treadmill .... Pilates is not for you. If you are not serious about changing your body posture and composition...... Pilates is not for you. If you do not enjoy understanding your body and how it really moves ..... Pilates is not for you. If any of the aforementioned sounds intriguing, then give Pilates a try. I highly recommend The Pilates Center of Pittsburgh. Lesley and her wonderful trainers (Allie, Erin, Michelle, Cecile) are bright, focused, kind and skilled. Each has their own unique style but the consistency of the technique is quite impressive. Good luck!!

When I began taking lessons at the Pilates Center of Pittsburgh, my exposure to Pilates had been…read moreminimal, just some workout dvds. This was my first lesson in a formal setting with an expert and it made a huge difference in what I was able to get out of the workout. I studied mostly with Leslie, who is a true expert at precision. Leslie is great at communicating Pilates concepts in several different ways, so that you can connect with an explanation that resonates with you. That said, the other instructors are great too. Leslie is very selective about who she hires, you won't find instructors here that don't know what they are doing. I took a couple of classes with Sally and would highly recommend her as an instructor. She is extremely kind and bubbly, but don't let her fool you - she will work you! At the Pilates Center, it is required for you to go through a series of intro sessions before joining a class. Having done it, I think that this is so smart. The intro sessions are well-priced, they give you one-on-one time with the instructors to focus on your specific needs and really ensure that you are joining a class when you are ready (a great way to prevent injuries). The environment is very casual, calm and relaxed. This isn't one of those snobby or pretentious places...which is a major selling point for me. Don't think you have to be a fit and tiny ballerina to fit in here, there are students of all ages and skill levels. Most of all, I love how Pilates makes me feel strong, open and energized. It's a great way to start your day if you can swing a morning session.
